Stupid walls
They close me in
Stupid halls
They make me spin

Same desk
Same rules
Melancholy!
Damned be this world I see!

Boring walls
They close me in
Boring halls
They make me spin

Same clothes
Same hair
Melancholy!
Damned be this world I see!

Endless walls
They close me in
Endless halls
They make me spin

Same fads
Same Games
Melancholy!
Damned be this world I see!

To what end is this trend,
To be the same?
It never ends!
Melancholy thus,
Comes once again.
